End-and-end measurement is used when it is not possible to determine the mass of a vehicle by direct measurement because the entire vehicle does not fit onto the platform/s. As a result, two measurements have to be determined, one for the front and the other for the rear of the vehicle.

End-and-end measurement may only be performed on a weighbridge that has suitable approaches and is permitted to perform such measurements.

Brakes, gears etc must not be engaged during any part of the weight capture process. Wheels of the axles being weighed must be wholly on the platform.
